PHOENIX, Ariz.—Calling her Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs a “monster,” Arizona Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake accused Hobbs of promoting gender transition surgery because her husband is a child therapist at Phoenix Children’s Hospital (PCH).

“We just found out her husband [Patrick Goodman] is a child psychologist specializing in transitioning children. It makes sense now. Why would she push this stuff on our beautiful, perfect babies?” Trump-endorsed Lake said at a rally in Phoenix on Nov. 3.
